SCJP 1.4
The soul is dyed the color of its thoughts. Think only on those things that are in line with your principles and can bear the light of day. The content of your character is your choice. Day by day, what you do is who you become. Your integrity is your destiny - it is the light that guides your way. - Heraclitus

Less than $500 per developer for IDEA. Well worth the investment, considering your coders sit and stare at this thing all day.

Agreed its well-worth the investment for companies. But as individuals doing freelance projects, I guess open-source is still the cheapest investment.

Saved me enough in increased productivity to be worth the money.
And as to vendor lockin with JBuilder, that's not an issue.
While JBuilder allows you to use custom Borland libraries for some things you are free to use those libs outside JBuilder as long as you have a JBuilder license and JBuilder doesn't force you to use them.
All those libs are standard Javabeans after all and Borland has a very good license policy.

I'm using JB9 at work now, playing with Eclipse at home. Pricing aside, I'd say JB9 requires more minimum hardware requirements as compared with Eclipse. I'm using a Dell laptop with P4, 1.7Ghz & 512 MB ram and it seems that JB9 takes rather a long time to startup & ocassionally it freezes while I'm coding (pretty annoying especially when I'm in a hurry).
I guess its a matter of personal preferences. One man's meat may be another's poison.
